St. Patrick of the Forest
Catholic Church
On the 24th Sunday in
Ordinary Time, we will
read from the letter of St.
Paul to Timothy.
Paul describes how he
was appointed by Christ to
ministry even though he
had been an arrogant blas-
phemer, and a persecutor
of the early Church.
The merciful Jesus
displayed His patience
with Paul as an example
for those who would come
to believe in Him for ever-
lasting life.
